Completely. A sniper rifle is usually far easier to use than a cumbersome piece of artillery, especially when one looks at how rifle weapons work in this game. If you thought the Kannon was bad, you haven't played literally any other shooter ever and had to deal with Snipers.
Demo doesn't fit it at all either. It's just a F2P ver. of the game. You're not timed or locked out after a certain level? The only thing I know is behind the paywall are JPAs which honestly they could change it and make so elites are the class behind the wall which would make more sense since they're also 25k so you pass that 20k mark and end up going full. Last I remember although it's unlimited you can only reach a certain point?
That is a Marksman Rifle at best and requires several well-placed shots to score a kill. I'm talking the classic big damage, slow rate of fire, single headshot kill sniper rifle. If the Ranger rifle is just a Stalker Bolter, I won't care.
Sure! I see no reason why it couldn't almost one-hit kill Eldar. =P But in all seriousness, as long as it can't one-hit kill, I couldn't care less. I really am not cool with hearing a sudden loud startling sound and being dead instantly with zero idea as to where the shooter might be (90% of my Planetside 2 experience).
Plz when I one hit kill someone on PS2, I deserve it. It's head or nothing since they nerfed lever sniper rifle even at close range. So I've either put a perfect hit on a moving target or else... well you was standing still Back to EC, OHK would be completely OP and would not last anyway as it would create the next genesis flood of tears. But one hit down (in the head) would be legit, with slow RoF and smoke trail after a shot. Good way to put pressure on fortified position without being OP.
You get only 1/3 of the requisition and xp from a paying user. And you can't earn RTC from campaigns. How can not be a trial? Yes it's unlimited. Yes you can try the game as much as you like but hell they put you in a wheelchair for it. It is impossible to unlock everything ingame in 500 hours playtime as a paying user. Now look at the poor f2p bastards. How long do they need? And at the same time the game shows you all the XP you are missing out on banked in the main menu as a giant add. If this is not a trial i don't know what is.
The unique mechanic for autarch will be ability to wear 2 banners... If by "several" you mean 1 to 2, then you're right.
